Bruno Duchêne - Le Banyuls de Môman 2020
Domaine Bruno Duchêne is located in Banyuls, on the Côte Vermeille in Roussillon. It was created by Bruno Duchêne in 2002. Before, Bruno Duchêne was a distributor of wild mushrooms in the Loire Valley. He owns 4 hectares spread over 4 plots in Banyuls and Collioure. The vines are cultivated organically, and due to the ideal climate of the region, Bruno does on average only 3 sulfur treatments per year (which is low) and as the odium is not a problem either, the copper is never used. The wines ferment spontaneously in vats, then are racked in barrels for aging.
Le Banyuls de Môman is a Natural Sweet Wine made from Grenache Noir, Blanc et Gris (90%) and Carignan (10%) from a plot of grassy vines. The vinification takes place in a wooden vat and ageing in Burgundy pieces. 250 bottles were produced for this vintage.
Grape varieties: 90% Grenache Noir, Blanc and Gris, 10% Carignan
